TROPICAL storm “Julian” (international name: Maysak) may intensify to a typhoon by Saturday night as it remains nearly stationary over the Philippine Sea, said the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (Pagasa ).
In its 5 pm bulletin, Pagasa said that “Julián” is currently 700 kilometers east of Casiguran, Aurora with maximum sustained winds of 100 kilometers per hour (kph) near the center and gusts of up to 125kph, according to the specialist. in Loriedin dela Cruz climate.
Although far from the mainland, Julian is rapidly escalating to a typhoon, peaking Monday before leaving the Philippines Area of Responsibility (PAR) the same day.
Since it is less likely to have a strong impact across the country, Pagasa did not generate wind signals from tropical cyclones during the forecast period.
Pagasa said the Bicol region and the provinces of Quezón, Aurora, Isabela and Cagayán will experience cloudy skies with scattered rain and thunderstorms, which can cause potential flash floods or landslides during severe storms.
Metro Manila and the rest of the country will have partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated rains due to “habagat” and localized thunderstorms, it said.
There will be moderate to rough seas off the northern shores of Luzon and the eastern shores of central Luzon, the state weather agency said.
